We call these Sunshine Muffins because they are filled with sun dried tomatoes! I'm just wild about muffins these days; not sure why but I can't get enough of them. Savory muffins with a variety of cheeses and veggies seem to enhance every variety of main dishes. From Valbonne France to Malibu California, international or American regional, muffins fill your home with the most wonderful aroma and definitely bring a smile to your table.
I always use buttermilk in muffins; it makes your muffins light and spongy. Never worry if you don't have buttermilk in your fridge; you can make substitute buttermilk in 10 minutes! Just measure out one cup milk and add 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes; voila you have your buttermilk!
